^^ What's the link for the stax o2 pads?

I think that my pair came from ebay

You'll need to be sure to sit down before you check the sticker price though

Well, I know O2 pads are very comfy and well isolating, but that's not a guarantee they'll work best with the Mad Dogs. They were tuned for the O2 driver, not the Fostex driver and Mrspeakers mods.

I think I have these on my TP1s,  I have to check and make sure.  If these are the same ones they work great on the Thunderpants.

This is very true. Click buy at your own risk. Mine sound fantastic to me. That doesn't mean that you'll appreciate them in the same way that I do.

Do them stax pads fit onto the denon d2/5/7k or not?
 
They look a bit similar...

Really anxious to hear some impressions on these pads when people get them.  The bass is the only thing that's making me a bit hesitant on the Mad Dogs, a bit more oomph and they might be perfect.  Unfortunately by the time the pads come out, I think my trial listening period will be over so I'll have to decide if they're keepers or not before then.

There's always the possibility of eq'ing a small bump to whatever region you find lacking (if with oomph you refer to quantity/prominence).

Haven't felt the need to play with any eq myself yet but I might actually try that just to get a feel of the whole business.

What would you all say the minimum DAC and amp requirement would be for the MDs? I'm not sure if I asked this already. Would a Xonar DG and FiiO E11 do?

I'm using them now with the iBasso PB2 and while it can drive them to good listening levels there's no overhead.

what I'm trying to say is it can't drive them properly in SE, I am looking into having a hardwire split done so I can use them in balanced mode for the "swing"

 

[Omark12]

overhead? SE? hardwire split? "swing"? balanced mode?

Will driving the Ibasso in balance even swing enough voltage?

Hi everyone, just wanted to know if the Mad Dogs had removable cables or must you remove them by dissembling the headphone? I heard V-Moda had a great cable for the Mad Dogs... I just think the stock cable is a tad too long.
